The essence and design features of the vaunted S-Phyre mountain bike cycling shoes from Shimano form the foundation of the XC-series overall. With the XC702, riders save plenty of cash, but maintain much of the true performance of the XC902. This generation gets upgraded materials and design features, and still an XC race-level / competition grade shoe. With a seriously stiff carbon sole plate, micro-adjustment from the re-imagined path of the dual Boa retention systems, more supple Surround upper, and impressive grip and durability of the ULTREAD XC rubber outsole, the XC702 can be a top grade XC trail or race shoe for those who prefer to maximize power transfer.
